Hope that Vince can pull a rabbit out of his hat on this one.
Yeah, weird in the sense that it seemed like the makings of a heel turn for Jericho and trying to shoehorn Ryback into the role of sympathetic face. Doesn't make sense, though, because they went to all the effort to make him a badass heel after being so over as a face to begin with... and oddly, it doesn't really SEEM like they're trying to change either one of them.

Now, if Ryback starts giving us RNN style updates about his injury, he'll be boo'd out of the building and still breathe life into his character.
